1 can cream of chicken soup
One 8 ounce tub sour cream
1 1/2 sleeves saltine crackers crushed
3/4 cup butter melted
1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉ and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Spread the cooked and shredded chicken in the bottom of the casserole dish.
In a mixing bowl, stir together the condensed soup and sour cream. Spread over the chicken.
Combine the crushed saltines and the melted butter until well-combined and spread over the soup and sour cream layer.
Sprinkle with poppy seeds and bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.

Notes

How to Freeze

If you want to deliver a freezer meal to a friend or have some stored up in your freezer for busy nights, this poppyseed chicken casserole is a great option. Make the recipe in a foil pan and cover tightly with foil (I like to use two layers to give it extra seal!). Freeze for up to 3 months.

When ready to enjoy, let it thaw in the fridge overnight. Bake as directed, but adding 10-15 minutes onto the cooking time.
